Cattle Camp Reverie - 1996 Digital Remaster; 1974 Version
Rêverie du campement de bétail - 1996 Rémasterisation numérique; Version 1974
There's a rustle through the tree tops as the night wind softly sighs
Il y a un bruissement dans les arbres alors que le vent de la nuit soupire doucement
The cattle rest and the bushland is so still
Le bétail se repose et la brousse est si calme
From the distance comes the jingle of the horses hobble chains
Du loin vient le tintement des chaînes d'enchaînement des chevaux
As they graze the grass round about at will
Alors qu'ils broutent l'herbe tout autour à leur guise
Then I gaze into the embers of my dying campfires glow
Puis je regarde dans les braises de mon feu de camp mourant qui brille
And the pictures that I see there make me frown
Et les images que je vois me font froncer les sourcils
For they come along and taunt me what I might have been and done
Car elles arrivent et me narguent de ce que j'aurais pu être et faire
When the cattle are all bedded and the horses hobbled down
Quand le bétail est couché et les chevaux enchaînés
I was once a horseman, a rider of renown
J'étais autrefois un cavalier, un cavalier de renom
Who loved it all the glamour and the glare
Qui aimait tout le glamour et l'éclat
The handshakes and the backslaps
Les poignées de main et les tapes dans le dos
And the false friends that you meet
Et les faux amis que tu rencontres
But when the heart is young then everything seems fair
Mais quand le cœur est jeune, alors tout semble juste
A home of friendly neighbours with kiddies running round
Une maison de voisins sympathiques avec des enfants qui courent
I threw away to wear a tinsel crown
Je l'ai jetée pour porter une couronne de paillettes
And they always come and taunt me as I sit alone at night
Et ils arrivent toujours et me narguent alors que je suis assis seul la nuit
When the cattle are all bedded and the horses hobbled down
Quand le bétail est couché et les chevaux enchaînés
For as you grow older and must give the game away
Car en vieillissant et en devant abandonner le jeu
You're just a name that blazed awhile ago
Tu n'es qu'un nom qui a flambé il y a quelque temps
And the friends you've made have left you for another name that's new
Et les amis que tu t'es faits t'ont quitté pour un autre nom qui est nouveau
Then you take to droving cattle it's the only job you know
Alors tu te mets à conduire du bétail, c'est le seul travail que tu connais
Then by some lonely fireside you'll be dreaming all alone
Puis près d'un feu de camp solitaire, tu rêveras tout seul
Whilst the boys are having fun they're back in town
Pendant que les garçons s'amusent, ils sont de retour en ville
I know because I'm here tonight with a lifetime to regret
Je sais parce que je suis ici ce soir avec une vie à regretter
When the cattle are all bedded and the horses hobbled down
Quand le bétail est couché et les chevaux enchaînés
There's a rustle through the tree tops as the night wind softly sighs
Il y a un bruissement dans les arbres alors que le vent de la nuit soupire doucement
The old campfire has burned into the ground
Le vieux feu de camp s'est consumé dans le sol
And my dreams have slowly drifted like the smoke into the trees
Et mes rêves se sont lentement dissipés comme la fumée dans les arbres
When the cattle are all bedded and the horses hobbled down
Quand le bétail est couché et les chevaux enchaînés
